[gst-devel] H.264 over MPEG2-TS

[Navneet Jagannathan]

Hi,

I don't think the fluendo demuxer supports MPEG-4 yet. I have tried out
version 0.10.3. However, the ffmpeg demuxer 'ffdemux_mpegts' appears to
demux it successfully (it recognises the format/frame-rate etc
successfully). 

However the output of the demuxer freezes at the first frame for a
couple of my streams. I wasn't sure whether this was a result of a fault
in the demuxer, or an incorrect stream and hence my question regarding
valid H.264/MPEG2-TS streams.

Apart from the demuxer, I find the ffmpeg H.264 decoder element
'ffdec_h264' also fails for supposedly 'valid' raw H.264 streams with
the following message:

"....
ERROR: from element /pipeline0/ffdec_h2640: Internal GStreamer error:
negotiation problem. 
ffdec_h264: input format was not set before data start
ERROR: pipeline doesn't want to preroll.
..."
This was my pipeline:
"gst-launch-0.10 filesrc location="filename.h264" ! ffdec_h264 !
xvimagesink"

H.264 video inside an AVI container appears to work after passing
through the 'avidemux' element.

"gst-launch-0.10 filesrc location="filename.avi" ! avidemux name=d
{d.video_00 ! ffdec_h264 ! xvimagesink}"


In summary, it would be great if anyone could tell me the status of
H.264 support in gstreamer (stability-wise), and whether there are any
samples around that are known to play reliably.

Regards,
Navneet
